VANITY CASE.

Application :tiled February 10, 1923. Serial No. 618,222.

Tol @ZZ- whom #may concern:

Be it lmown that I, RAMN M. RODRIGUEZ. a citizen ot' the United States. and resident of the borough of Manhattan, city, county`,` and State ot New York, have invented certain new and useiiul Improvements in Vanity Cases. ot' which the following is a specification'. f

My' invention relates tovanity cases' of the type commonly carried about by ladies and has for its object to provide a vanity case adapted to contain a plurality of' cosmetics` and including a mirror and constructed in a manner adapting all of the cosmetics and the mirror to be exposed for use simultaneously.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing which illustrates an example of 'p M In its normal condition the sections of the invention without defining its limits and in which Fig. l a plan view of the vanity case; F ig. 2 is a side view thereof partly7 in section; Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the vanity case extended Jfor use and Fig. 4 is a side view of F ig. 3 with parts in section.

As shown in the illustrated example the vanity case. comprises a plurality of sections' pivotally connected with each other so as to be capable of being moved to positions in linear alignment with each other to coincidentally expose the interiors of all of said sections; in the normal condition said sec` tions are folded into superimposed registry in which they represent a compact unit readily carried in the purse orI pocket. That is to say the vanity` case'may consist of a main section` 5 to which an auxiliary section 6 is pivoted at 7 insuch a manner as to be pivotally movable in a plane parallel with the plane of the main section` 5. A cover section 8 is hinged at 9 to the main section 5 and is pivotaly movable relatively thereto in a plane at right angles to the plane ot the main section 5. In other words the aux-` iliary section 6 and the cover section 8 are movable relatively to the main section 5 about axes which extend transversely to each other. In the illustrated example the main section. 5 is provided with a compartment 10 adapted to contain rouge` 11 and a second compartment 12 adapted to contain a lip stick 13. The compartment 10 is ofi such depth as to permit a powder puff 14 to be placed therein as shown in Fig. 4; in such case it is preferred to provide a hinged clamping member 15 adapted to extend across said compartment 10 to hold the pow.-` der' pu'ii' let therein; said member 15 being movable to an inoperative position as shown in Fig. 3 powder puit' when the latter is desired for use. It will be understood that theliinge ot the mem-ber 15 is a spring hinge operatirmT to maintain the member 15 normally vin the position indicated by dotted lines'inFig'. To permit the ready removal. of the lip` stick 13 the compartment 12 may be pro*- vided with a recess '16i`in'to which the tip` of the, linger may be inserted. The auxiliary section o" is provided witl'i'a coinpartment 17 adapted to contain face powder 1 8 as shown in Fig. 3. The cover section shown in said Fig. 3.

the vanity case are Jfolded upon each other as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 in which the cover section 6 in superimposed registry with the main section 5 a shoulder 20 ymay be provided upon the periphery of said section 6 for ento permit'the `removal. of said."`

8 `includes an interior mirror 19 as also` gagement with the hinge 9. In its normal condition the vanity case represents a unit of small dimensions and compact torni easily carried about. When it is desired to use Vone or` all of ythe cosmetics the sectionsl are adjusted to the positions shown in Fig.

3`in which all of said sections are in lineary `cosmetics easily accessible. In this position the main `section 5 may be held in the hand i with one of the iingers serving to incline the cover section` 8 to position the mirrory `9 properly for facilitating the application `of the cosmetics.

With the described con struction it is unnecessary to reverse the vanity case when 1t is desired to use one cosmetic or the other and furthermore it is necessary to manipulate only one cover sec- Vtion to render all of the cosmetics easilv accessible for use. It will be understood `that in somecases the compartments 10 and example; that is to say the compartments 10` and l2 may be located on the section 6 and the compartment 17 located on the section if desired.

Various changes in the specific 'form shown and described may be made within the scope of the claims without departing/j from the spirit ot the invention.

I claim: y

l. A. vanity case comprising a main section containing a cosmetic, an auxiliary section pivoted to said mainl section and containing a cosmetic anda cover section inv.cluding an interior mirror pivoted to said main section ai a point diametrically opposed to the pivot of said auxiliary section, said sections being movable to positions in linearV alignment with each other to coincidentally expose said `cosmetics and mirror for use, andto folded positions in registry with each other, said cover section co-operating with the auxiliary section to maintain all of said sections in their folded positions.

f2. A vanity case comprising a main section provided with compartments adapted to contain rouge and alip sticlrrespectiveiy, a hinged clamping member-on said main section adapted to extend across one of said compartments, an auxiliary section pivoted Vupon said main section and having a compartment tor face powder, said auxiliary section normally lying 1n registry with said main section and over the compartments thereof and being movable to an extended position in which the lip stick, rouge. and face powdei1 are simultaneously exposed `tor use land a cover section hinged upon said main section and adapted to normally cover said auxiliary section and maintain all oi said sections in superimposed registry, said cover including an interior mirror and being movable to an extended, open position wheieb said mirror isv exposed for use coincidentally with saidv lip stick, rouge and face powder.

In testimony whereof I have hereby signed this specification.

RAMON M. RODRIGUEZ.
